Melatonin-Mediated Modulation of Grapevine Resistance Physiology, Endogenous Hormonal Dynamics, and Fruit Quality Under Varying Irrigation Amounts.

Grapevine, as a globally significant economic fruit tree, is highly sensitive to water stress, which not only damages its growth but also affects the formation of fruit quality. Melatonin (MT), acting as a signaling molecule, plays a crucial role in plant stress responses. However, the regulatory mechanisms of MT on grape leaf physiological characteristics and fruit quality under different irrigation amounts have not been fully elucidated.

Prohexadione-calcium improves grape quality by regulating endogenous hormones, sugar and acid metabolism and related enzyme activities in grape berries.

Prohexadione-Calcium (Pro-Ca) plays key roles in improving fruit quality and yield by regulating various aspects of plant growth. However, the effects of how Pro-Ca regulates the regulation of sugar and acid balance and its impact on the production of volatile aroma substances during fruit growth and development are poorly understood. In this study, the Pro-Ca solutions developed at concentrations of 200, 400, 600 and 800 mg·L were sprayed on the entire "Chardonnay" grape tree 22, 42, 62 and 82 days after initial flowering.
